Tonight is destined to be a restless night. The mayor of Huangsha City was killed, and many bigwigs in the city also died. The army has been searching for them all night long.
Curfew is also normal, especially along the city walls, where military patrols are frequent.
Li Guo had a methodical way of governing the city. The military commander who had surrendered before became loyal to King Yu, with swords and guns in hand, and then a large number of officials also surrendered.
After only one night of operation, Huangsha City was operating normally. Of course, the selection of the city lord still needs to wait for the appointment of King Yu. This position is very important, and the first choice must be a confidant.
Lin Feng's family didn't care about these things. If the Great Yan Dynasty could be stabilized as soon as possible, the people would be spared from the disaster of war. Moreover, the drought and locust plagues had to be cleaned up as soon as possible.
"They are all selfish people. The Great Yan Dynasty has let the people down." Lin Feng complained in his heart.
The family had been living a peaceful life, but these damn princes made life difficult for them.
It was so warm for the whole family to squeeze into the container house. After the sun came out in the morning, there was still a lot of frost on the iron house that had not melted. You can imagine how cold the weather was last night.
"Why not tear down this tall city wall? That way, the desert climate and the icy wasteland can merge, and they won't be so extreme, with one side cold and the other hot, like a double-dish hot pot."
Lin Feng complained that his thoughts were normal and most people thought the same way.
But Liu Meng, who came to see him at noon, gave the answer.
"You don't know. The city was built for several purposes. First, it serves as a place of exile for criminals. Second, it protects against the Northern Barbarians. This was once their territory. Third, it serves as a transit point for commerce between the two places. Fourth, it's about the desert tiger scorpions. Desert tiger scorpions were once very powerful, and they were very difficult to kill."
Lin Feng was puzzled. Aren't tiger scorpions easy to kill? They could even die if they crashed into a container house.
"Brother Liu, since tiger scorpions are so difficult to kill, how come they have become a rare species?" Lin Feng asked curiously.
Liu Meng explained with a smile, "That's because their royal family is gone. The first generation of the Great Yan Dynasty's Imperial Master destroyed even their lair. This is to turn the desert into a traversable trade route, so that the north and south of the Great Yan Dynasty can be connected."
He continued, "The current Tiger Scorpion bloodline is weak. Both its size and combat power are very weak. Do you know that? If that adult Tiger Scorpion King appeared, this Yellow Sand City would be destroyed in minutes. That head is as big as a mountain and invulnerable to swords and spears."
Lin Feng was astonished. Was the Tiger Scorpion's royal family so powerful? If that were the case, the first generation of the Great Yan Dynasty's Imperial Master was also terrifyingly powerful. Tsk tsk! A great figure from over a thousand years ago!
"Unfortunately, the first generation of the Imperial Master was severely injured in the battle to destroy the royal family's lair and died not long after. If he were still alive, the Northern Barbarian Land would have been destroyed long ago, and the current confrontation between the two lands would not have occurred at all."
Liu Meng is a chatterbox. It was not obvious yesterday, but after getting to know Lin Feng today, he also started to talk freely.
"I've learned a lot from listening to what Big Brother Liu said. I admire you."
Lin Feng quite likes getting along with him; he seems easy to talk to.
Liu Meng laughed heartily, patted Lin Feng on the shoulder and said, "Brother, although Huangsha City is a hard place, it also has its advantages."
"What benefits?" Lin Feng asked.
"People here live long lives because of the climate. The alternating relaxation and well-being of our bodies keeps us active. Hehe! That's not what I said, it's what Mr. Li from the pharmacy said."
Lin Feng smiled and nodded. This made sense. Laziness made people lazy, and thus they would have more minor ailments.
"Brother, Uncle Li went to see my dad yesterday and complained that the house he found was not good, so my dad sent me here today to ask about it. If you are not satisfied with the house you live in, I will take you to see other places." Liu Meng said.
Lin Feng shook his head and said with a smile: "Don't bother, I'm used to living here. There are also many soldiers patrolling at night, so safety is guaranteed."
Liu Meng nodded: "That makes sense. After all, this is next to the city wall, so it's normal for the army to move around more."
"By the way, what is your relationship with Mr. Li from the pharmacy? Why does he care so much about your family's affairs?" Liu Meng asked.
Lin Feng smiled and said, "Nothing, we just met yesterday, I just sold him some tiger scorpions."
When Liu Meng heard this, a look of shock appeared on his face.
"What? You sold him the tiger scorpion from the pharmacy?"
Lin Feng nodded. Is this strange?
"Tsk tsk! You're really capable! You actually found a tiger scorpion! These creatures hide in the desert in the dark, making them very hard to find. Moreover, they always travel in large numbers, and the army has to hide when they see them. Tell me, brother, how did you find the tiger scorpion?"
Liu Meng was almost drooling when he said this.
Lin Feng smiled and said, "It's just a coincidence. When we found them, they were already dead and posed no threat."
"I'm so envious. Finding a few tiger scorpions depends entirely on luck, but you can actually pick one up ready-made." Liu Meng said enviously.
"Is it difficult? I sold nearly a hundred to the pharmacy. And, Brother Liu, do you know? A merchant picked up even more, hundreds of them!"
Lin Feng said that these things were just asking for trouble. They would crash around all night long, and when he went out in the morning he could pick up a lot of them, just like giving away money.
After hearing this, Liu Meng almost popped his eyes out.
"Almost a hundred? And some people picked up hundreds? I really..."
Liu Meng was speechless. He was just shocked. With so many tiger scorpions, wouldn't that mean he had made a fortune?
His eyes rolled around, and then he slapped his thigh suddenly. This sudden action scared Lin Feng.
"Brother, how about we go for a walk?" Liu Meng said.
Lin Feng asked: "Where are you going?"
"Of course we should go to the desert and look for tiger scorpions. How about we split the tiger scorpions in half once we find them?" Liu Meng suggested.
Lin Feng shook his head: "I can't leave my family, and I'm worried about them. Besides, in Huangsha City, you can enter but not leave."
He had enough money, so there was no need to take risks. He wasn't alone; he had a whole family of elderly, weak, women, and children to support him. He couldn't take risks.
Liu Meng nodded and said, "Brother, I can understand. I have an idea. Let me hear it."
"I'll find a place for your family to stay. There's food and drink there, and it's warm at night. It's safe, not to mention safe. You can rest assured. That's my eldest brother's home, and he's a big shot in Huangsha City."
"As for the problem of entering and exiting Huangsha City, it's not a big deal. Let me tell you the truth, brother! There is a secret passage out of the city in my eldest brother's house." Liu Meng said this in a low voice.
